  1. Re:Thanks to this post, /. is now illegal in the U on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: 0

    I don't know about it being illegal, but that sounds like every other Friday night in Wales.

  2. It's very simple on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Normal society does not tolerate those who incite others to perform illegal acts, and for very good reason. The same should apply to the net: if you are judged to have facilitated someone else's crime to the extent that no crime would have occured without your aid, then this should fall under standard 'incitement' and should entail the same legal consequences.

  3. Probably too late on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 0

    As much as I love the Simpsons I can't help think that he's missed the boat by five or six years.

  4. It's not the Times of London!!! on Google Cancels Spring IPO · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's just The Times. It was there long before your upstart colonial New York crap. Get it right!

  5. And to think the Queen... on Microsoft Agrees Settlement Over MikeRoweSoft.com · · Score: -1, Redundant

    - is going to Knight this criminal. I bet MS sent a Lawrence Olivier look-a-like with a black medical bag to ask the kid about transferring his site, saying "Is it safe? Is it safe? ..."

  6. 45 minutes was how long it takes... on Ask About the Iraqi LUG · · Score: 0

    ...for them to re-compile their kernels, so I heard. Some fat guy called Gilligan told me.

  7. Re:Terrorism. on Ask About the Iraqi LUG · · Score: 0

    Why, yes, Virginia. If Darl says it's true, then it must be. By using open source tools the terrorists can spend the money they saved on better bombs and mines. Why, Linus himself is from Finland, and as every Utah resident knows, Finland is only fifty miles or so from Baghdad and deep inside the Al Qu'aeda territory. Haven't you ever wondered - Linux is very good at networking - and Al Qu'aeda is also referred to as a network, isn't it? Also, Alan Cox has long hair - and asyou well know only hippies and terrorists have long hair.

  8. Re:English/Metric on Another English/Metric "Spacecraft" Problem · · Score: 0

    >>Kelvins would be just nit-picking.

    Hm - irony. Temperature is measured in _Kelvin_, not Kelvins. No plural, dude. :-)

  9. Re:Out of the way UK communities on UK Testing Wireless Broadband Via Airship · · Score: 0

    Oh, I think they know what electricity is in Liverpool (or as I like to call it - Europe's Largest Open Prison), for they certainly knew how to disconnect my car stereo, the blighters!

  10. Re:What a boring planet! on The Dirt On Mars, In Words And Pictures · · Score: 0

    Yeah - maybe I need to get Wise... (geddit? Wise? *sigh* )

  11. What a boring planet! on The Dirt On Mars, In Words And Pictures · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sheesh. Mars sucks. Could it be any more dull? It's worse than Morecombe on a wet Sunday. I bet it won't be too long before the rover finds a German beach-towel, though.

  12. Re:An old proverb comes to mind. on IBM, Intel Set Up $10m SCO Defense Fund · · Score: 0

    Err... is that even a proverb? It's always struck me as a totally stupid remark - like it's never possible to have a tripartite dispute !?

  13. Re:Speech rights on UK Spam Law Goes Live · · Score: 1

    >>Well at least we still have the right to free speech, something the poor UK citizens obviously lack. Yep. And we only just gave left-handed people the right to vote last year. You should think yourself lucky you live in a country where you don't need official paperwork to travel to the next county, like you do here. Furthermore, you should pity us for having to offer up our first born every leap year so that Her Majesty's corgies may feast.

  14. Re:Let me get this right? on McBride's New Open Letter on Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Ah-ha - you've made the mistake of actually _thinking_ about this; Darl managed to bypass that bit. Remember : this whole thing is about FUD - there is no rhyme or reason once you subtract the FUD element. For Darl, read MS.

  15. If GPL==invalid, then isn't every EULA==invalid? on McBride's New Open Letter on Copyrights · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How can the terms of one EULA be enforceable, yet the terms of another not be?

  16. Re:Linux is NOT AMERICAN on McBride's New Open Letter on Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Are you some kind of communist? Do you want to get /. shutdown? Do you realise what the men in grey suits will do to you if they find out that you've been suggesting there are countries _outside_ the US?

    I feel sorry for your parents.

  17. Re:Unconstitutional ??? on McBride's New Open Letter on Copyrights · · Score: 1

    >>>the supreme court recently wrote "motive of profit is the engine that ensures progress of science". What an unbelievable statement!? I simply cannot believe any country on Earth could come up with such a fscked up view of the World. Is this not proof that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark?

  18. Huh? on Canadian Supreme Court To Define ISP Role · · Score: 1

    >>Given the trade relations, this case should have consequences far outside of Canada proper. Canada [i]proper[/i]? I like the sound of Canada [i]im[/i]proper. Where the hell's that?
